Timberwolves Drop High-Scoring Second Game to Mohawk Valley, 11-8

UTICA, NY —

The Timberwolves out-hit the Hawks 5–4 and showed patience at the plate, drawing 13 walks, but couldn't overcome a late surge by Mohawk Valley.

Jack Taylor delivered the biggest swing of the inning with a bases-clearing double that drove in three runs. Taylor finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBIs, leading the Timberwolves at the plate from the seven spot in the order.

However, Mohawk Valley responded with a five-run fifth inning to reclaim the lead. Timely hits from Pelli and Leos, combined with a run-scoring walk by Delacavz, fueled the comeback and gave the Hawks a 9–7 advantage.

SUNY Adirondack's pitching staff battled through control issues, issuing 11 free passes in the contest. Starter Cody Nelson allowed just one hit over 3.2 innings but was tagged for five runs (two earned), walking six. Owen Rowe took the loss in relief.
